I have been saying this for YEARS

And I already knew this, because sometimes dogs live to, like 20, which would mean they were "really" 140. And since no human lives to be 140, and the whole "dog years" formula is supposed to give us a point of comparison between human and dog ages, that would be...

LOL This is very timely, as just on the news was a daschund that is supposedly the oldest dog in the world, and is 20yrs 8 months. And the newsreader said he is the human age of 145!Think about it Channel 9!

Yeah but it's all BS, Ben. This comparison is arrived at assuming that all life on the planet progresses in age, emotionally, mentally and physically in the same way that we humans do.

Look at the emotional state of most domestic dogs. The innocent happiness that they continuously show in our respects, the simple emotions that they express may easily be a factor leading to their longevity. The times seven theory may actually be more accurate than stated by ANTECH.

Of course, all this could easily be BS as well. I'm thinking that until we learn how to speak "dog" or "cat", it's all really hypothetical.

The comparison of all life on the planet with our own is a little like the "God creating man", or as I prefer to put it "man creating God in his own image" scenario.
